Hello Fellow Turners
Im David Snell, relatively new to turning. I’m a weekend turner given work, family, and other interests. I have started with pens, and about ~20 months back joined my local guild (Catoctin Area Turners), joined their board as the member at large (last year and his year), joined AAW. I’m now on the journey for turning bowls and other interesting projects. I have a lot to learn and build my turning skills.
Im a supply chain professional, just past 35 years with a large aerospace and defense company. hoping to retire sooner than later, no firm date yet, which will give me more time to turning.
Attached are pictures of my new shop. While im very active with my other hobby with tropical fish (30+ year, keeping, breeding, South America collecting, up to 60 tanks in two rooms), It was time downsize to better use my space and free up my ½ of the garage to get my car inside by converting my larger fishroom to my lathe shop. Since last summer I’ve been redoing the room, flooring, drywall repairs, painting, electrical, cabinetry, shelving, French cleats, dust collection etc. etc. It’s time break in the new space and get it covered in wood chips. Yes it appears I have a lathe tool collecting problem, as I’ve collected many via tools. In my garage I have space for large shop gear.
Thx for having me!
David

With kids I downsized and only have my big 600 gallon tank left. Welcome to the forums and if you need any help with them please reach out.
